Operation SOLO was a long-running FBI program to infiltrate the Communist Party of the United States and gather intelligence about its relationship to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, China, and other communist nations. It officially began in 1958 and ended in 1977, although Morris and Jack Childs, two of the principal agents in the operation, had been involved with the Bureau for several years prior. The files posted here constitute the first two releases made from the FBIâs SOLO file. They range from March 1958 to August 1960. Subsequent releases will be added in the future.

This combined edition was assembled and uploaded to Archive.org by Tim Davenport. The material, a product of an official agency of the United States government, lies in the public domain and may be used without restriction.
